James O’Keefe, Warrior for the People, and the Suppression of Free Speech (Open Thread)

The progressive forces attack our constitutional rights on a daily basis. The free speech rights of a MAJORITY of Americans–those who invest in or own companies, including union workers–are under attack by the forces of the progressive left. The voting rights of the MAJORITY of Americans are under attack by the forces of the progressive left. Here’s just one example:

James O’Keefe has done it again with an expose of potential vote fraud in Vermont.

O’Keefe’s new video from Vermont could not be more timely, coming the day after the U.S. Department of Justice’s civil rights division blocked a Texas photo ID requirement for voters–to the applause of the American Civil Liberties Union, which claimed that the law was “discriminatory” against “Latinos, African-Americans, elderly citizens, and others.”

As the Project Veritas video shows, the current system in Vermont discriminates against actual legal voters, who must face the prospect of disenfranchisement by those who would vote in their stead illegally, or have their votes cancelled out by those voting illegally in place of deceased voters who have yet to be removed from the rolls.

If it is not discriminatory for Vermont citizens to be required to show ID to get married or buy alcohol, it is certainly not discriminatory to make them show ID to vote.

“It is a national disgrace that ballots can be given out in the names of dead people,” O’Keefe told Breitbart.com. “Threats of government intimidation will not stop us from protecting the integrity of the ballot box. If any state has a system which encourages ballots to be given out to the wrong person, dead or alive, we will come to your state, we will film your poll workers, and Project Veritas will put the videos on YouTube. States like Vermont and New Hampshire have to take dead people off voter registration forms and clean up their act, once and for all.”

Remember how the progressives parrot the lie that there’s no evidence that vote fraud happens? Well, here’s moreevidence. While this is the Republican primary, keep in mind that many who are NOT Republicans are voting in the Republican primaries, in order to help choose the Republican nominee. It’s the Democrats, especially the racialist progressives, who oppose making voters prove their identity and eligibility at the polls, despite that the vast majority of Americans favor this requirement.

While James O’Keefe, warrior for the people, works to protect the integrity of the ballot and ensure that the voting rights of MOST Americans aren’t trampled upon, OWS, SEIU, MoveOn, and other progressive groups are placing a bounty of $25,000 on information about corporations that support political campaigns.

Be assured that they won’t pay the reward to anybody who documents that corporations like Google or Ben & Jerry’s or Facebook may secretly send money to entities that support their favored candidate: Barry Obama.

This is yet more intimidation, which is what we’ve learned to expect from the heavy hand of the thuggish, anti-constitutional progressive left.

They’re trying to SILENCE corporations. Not the ones that support their candidates, though. Just those who support Barry Obama’s opponents. Now they’re encouraging employees to spy into confidential business information.

Gee, it almost sounds as if they’re aiding and abetting corporate sabotage. Isn’t that a crime? An illegal conspiracy? With Eric Holder, our most corrupt Attorney General ever, at the head of the now Dept. of inJustice, there will be no repercussions for this anti-free-speech thuggery. From that news story, with my comments in brackets:

“The whistle-blower mustprovide credible evidence that a corporation has made or plans to make a donation to a 501(c)4 social welfare group,” [Americans (?) United for Change CEO Robert] Creamer said. [A social welfare group like MoveOn? Plans to make?]

It is unclear how employees could provide such proof without turning over proprietary financial information.

But Creamer said such evidence could be obtained without violating internal confidentiality rules.

“People want to weigh whether they have other obligations legally they need to abide by,” he said.

“Bottom line is, some of these corporations have such massive amount of profit, if they were to get engaged politically, they could swamp ordinary Americans,” he added. [Like Microsoft, Google, Facebook can, and do?]

Since the 2010 Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case, corporations and labor unions have been able to spend unlimited amounts of money on political activity. Since then, some corporations have given money to “super PACs,” independent political organizations that can raise unlimited amounts of money. But it is likely that substantially more corporate money is going to 501(c)4 social welfare groups, which can do a limited amount of political activity but do not have to disclose their donors.

Americans United for Change is itself a 501(c)4 that does not have to disclose its donors.

Creamer said it is funded by unions such as the SEIU and American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, as well as individual donors, and does not receive corporate money.”

Take his word for it. They’re only funded by union thugs and individuals. No mention of George Soros.

Oh, I get it now: Creamer points out that they’re funded by union and municipal employees and individuals, so somehow those people, the rank and file, the blue collar workers, the “ordinary Americans,” are BETTER than others? (Actually, it’s not the rank and file but the thugs at the top who control the unions.) In any case, are they more worthy of free speech rights and the protection of the Constitution? What is this? Reverse elitism?

So it’s okay for unions and public employees to SPEAK, but white collar workers, stockholders, business owners, retirees, the wealthy must be SILENT? Or else? Or else what?

Smeared in the complicit media and threatened with boycotts. That’s what.

Unions want to be able to give secretly and hide their donors, but stockholders and business owners must STFU.

Progressive corporations and unions should be able to secretly contribute to “social welfare groups” like MoveOn, but non-progressives must be muzzled. Non-progressives must fight for their beliefs and their candidates with one hand tied behind their backs.

Progressive social welfare groups already stand accused of coordinating with their candidates; and yet, as when black churches violate the rules and allow politicking from the pulpit, the Dept. of inJustice looks the other way. Just as they look the other way when blacks intimidate whites at the polls. Or when illegal aliens illegally vote. Civil rights and voting rights, to this Attorney General, do not apply to “white people”. And that’s a fact, because Holder so testified to Congress. Was he under oath? It doesn’t matter because in this instance, I totally believe that he was telling the truth.

I predict that nobody will ever collect that bounty, because the evidence won’t be ruled “credible.” But in the meantime, these groups will collect a massive amount of intel and build an enormous database of information that might be secretly used to intimidate and blackmail corporations to stay silent.

We the People will never know. We’ll be kept in the dark. As we’re kept in the dark about what goes on behind the scenes to enforce this unprecedented news blackout about the subject of Barry Obama’s ineligibility.

I find this very disturbing……If it is true, this information needs to be spread far and wide. I’m starting to wonder if we have been taken over and our gov. just has not let us in on the coup! We better pray!

As to posts…. perhaps we should copy our posts to our own email…It seem that Primo diet ad is a problem.

What does this word mean? UM Can you get info on this?? And why ” Dhimmitude” would be in the healthcare bill

Why would this word be used in OUR healthcare system at all? Something to give pause and think about…..

Dhimmitude– What does it mean?

Obama used it in the health care bill.

Now isn’t this interesting? It is used in the health care law!

Dhimmitude – I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting. It’s on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists.. It is a REAL word.

Word of the Day: Dhimmitude

Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.

ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be “gambling”, “risk-taking”, and “usury” and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.

How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time if I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude.

I recommend sending this onto your contacts. American citizens need to know about it

Funny Kathy, you should mention the “health” care bill this morning. I just figured out something I believe is monumental …..Now I see why Michelle is pushing the Nutrition Factor. It didn’t occur to me til last night when I was researching United Fruit Companies History and names/Associations. Got to David Murdock and Dole Foods of the Dole pineapple,and that’s when it hit me he’s the worlds largest distributor of packaged vegetable, fruits, and of course the whole banna and pineapple business……Oh but it gets way better……Murdock’s huge nutrition labs built in Kannapolis North Carolina(I think around 2007 with all the big NC Universities research taking part, that’s Duke, NC. State, the state Universities N.C CHarlotte,Nc. Chapel Hill, on and on. Folk’s it’s big…..research funding, but guess who heads up the facility…..a Dr. Mary Ann Lila with her Global research and sustainability skills……..Dr. mary A Lila just happens to be from University Chicago Illinois…..There’s much to be ascertained about all the many connections. Did you know who else in 2007 is trying to or has bought into Murdock’s Billions……..none other than Eugenics master Bill Gates. Seems he got married on David Murdock’s practically private island Lanai in Hawaii. This is why Obama touts the Science comments he makes……This has got to be the biggest symbiotic relationship with a company one could have….Please you guys, I’ve just touched on tiny bits of this puzzle, but It’s verry very big. Kannapolis is basically Charlotte, N.C. area. So this is why Michelle want’s everybody to eat you salad…..these are the programs instituted by David Murdock, and of course now maybe Bill Gates too. THis is global folks…It runs deep.

I was wondering around this morning and came upon this site. Have a quick look, some great art and photos. “You cain’t roller skate in a buffalo herd.”http://heyokapatriots.wordpress.com/
Also visit LC for gender conformation. :)
Have a great day.

Please everybody, I may be way off base here, but the name Lila is not a typical name. She is very affectionate with Monsanto who has their labs in Raleigh and pays most of N.C. State’s research and they are or have become part of Kannapolis reasearch facilities of David Murdock’s. Now what’s the odds that Lila could be related some way to the Monsanto’s, maybe somewhere way back or maybe recent, I don’t know but that unusual name is associated with a Lila Monsanto….just too coincidental. Ms. Mary Ann Lila may also be called Dr. Mary Ann Lila Smith.

Renee, you’re the specialist in names associations….hope you’ve got time to look into more on this. I started with United Fruit Company which you have probably already done somewhere ….that of course related to the Ruth Forbes Paine woman and her husband ,Lyman Paine, that’s michael paine’s father….you know of the Ruth Hyde Paine and Ozwald. Well there’s so much there it’s a month’s worth of reading, but even the Bell telephone stuff relates to Mrs. Ruth Forbes Paines side of the family and Ralph Waldo Emmerson…and on both sides of their families they are related to the famous Cabot’s. So much more, but the BAnana, pineapple stuff runs right up to this stuff..I posted. Course Ruth that married Michael’s family…..her father mother and sister sounds like a remake of Stanley Anne, Stanley and Madeline…in a sinister sort of way. If I find where you are I’ll drop in later,but must take care of stuff in my studio today. Hope it’s pretty weather everywhere today. It sure is beautiful here.
I figure Obam’s plan is to grandstand for medical, scientific research , and of course throw in how to feed and immunize the world, for Monsanto’s sake and Bill Gates, while Warren Buffet takes over the insurance companies and David Murdoch passes out nutrition pamplets in our new health care schemes. It’s all just so GLOBAL……”How Obama Saved the World part II”. What’s that song? “People Get Ready theres’s a Train A Coming, everyone Ride on Obama’s Peace Train”. YIKES!!

Hmmm, speaking of Monsanto, I had a very interesting conversation a couple of days ago while sitting in a waiting room. A gentleman was waiting for his wife, and I was waiting for my sister. We started out with just talking about the beautiful weather and then proceeded to talk about gardening.

He stated that his son worked for Monsanto in the St. Louis area, and he was asked to grow 500 lbs. of spinach for the St. Louis farmer’s market. Could you imagine if the shoppers KNEW that their vegetables were grown by Monsanto? Very interesting…….

Hid daddy don taught him well! The young Il just took home a bounty from the US. They want food, lie, get food, launch missiles. How many times have we fallen for the same lie? I wonder who did the negotiating this time? It’s a birthday blast!

REPORTING FROM BEIJING — Two weeks after agreeing to freeze its weapons programs in return for food aid, North Korea announced Friday it is preparing to launch a satellite in mid-April to mark the 100th anniversary of founder Kim Il Sung’s birth.

Although North Korea insisted its intentions are peaceful, the timing of the launch could scuttle the newly inked deal with Washington.

The food-aid deal announced Feb. 29 called for North Korea to suspend its nuclear and long-range missile programs, raising hopes that the new, youthful leader, Kim Jong Un, is keener to normalize relations with the United States than his father, Kim Jong Il, who died in December.

Bad news for a new IPO. That sucks. Stockholders will not be pleased and Mr. Friend may lose some friends. His politics involve supporting moveon.org and Soros affiliated orgs. Big mistake, big, huge. Unhidden Karma.

Carbonite crashing after Limbaugh trashing
March 16, 2012

Carbonite, the Internet backup/security company, may be a good place to securely store irreplaceable computer data, but it’s not proving to be a good place to invest irreplaceable dollars after its CEO presumed to lecture Rush Limbaugh on civility.

The company, which went public last August, has seen its stock dive 20 percent after Carbonite CEO David Friend criticized Rush Limbaugh in the wake of the Sandra Fluke flap

The Washington Times noted Friend has a long history of contributing to left-leaning candidates and causes. Citing Accuracy in Media, the Times reports Friend donated generously to the Howard Dean, John Kerry, and Barack Obama presidential campaigns, as well as several 527 groups such as “America Coming Together,” moveon.org, and “Texans for Truth.”

The latter organization, funded by George Soros through Moveon.org, released an ad accusing George W. Bush of evading his National Guard Service. A day later, “Dan Rather and CBS’ 60 Minutes did their program based on the bogus National Guard documents.”

He had a head injury recently. It occurs to me to wonder whether or not they had him on sleeping pills, like the ones Patrick Kennedy took when he drove his car into the Capitol? Some of those drugs make people “sleep walk”. They do things they have no memory of doing.

I know. I said that, too. Now the alleged “shooter” has a name and a face. I wondered if he’d be as real as OBL’s body. I pray for him and his family, too. IF he’s real. He has high-powered lawyers already. Coming out and saying he was stressed, it’s not true that he had marital problems. I wondered is he a guy taking one for the gipper. Under orders. Doing what he was told (or programmed) to do. Why? An excuse to pull out of Afghanistan, LOSING the war our brave troops had won (Mission Accomplished), without (he thinks) taking any blame for the failure WHEN (and it will happen) Afghanistan again becomes an Islamic state and ALL the women again become slaves/chattel/non-human beings. And so much for the communist UN’s pretend concern for “human rights.”

“RABAT, Morocco (AP) – The case of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after she was forced to marry her rapist has spurred outrage among Morocco’s internet activists and calls for changes to the country’s laws.

An online petition, a Facebook page and countless tweets expressed horror over the suicide of Amina Filali, who swallowed rat poison on Saturday to protest her marriage to the man who raped her a year earlier.

Article 475 of the Moroccan [SHARIAH] penal code allows for the “kidnapper” of a minor to marry his victim to escape prosecution, and it has been used to justify a traditional practice of making a rapist marry his victim to preserve the honor of the woman’s family.”

I know. Now some of them are saying as many as 30. Of course, you know, they lie–taqiyya. Even so, it does make sense to me that it could be more. How does one guy shoot 16 people and then have the time and the strength to drag a bunch into one place and set them on fire? Was there nobody who would confront him, while he’s dragging bodies? Nobody heard the gunfire and no authorities came? It doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense. Then we’re supposed to believe he calmly walked back to the base and turned himself in.

Oh, yeah. And now there’s more “explanation” about the so-called attempt on Panetta, which supposedly explains their disarming our troops. Now they say the targets were some of the other leaders of US troops, who were there to meet Panetta. And the latest meme is that Osama was plotting to kill Barry. Yup! For “infidelity” is how my newspaper put it. Which begs the question: Infidelity to what and to whom? Hmm. Think I know the answer.

I love listening to someone that is rational and really “normal.” Normal people are getting lost among the major media megaphones.

He is the total opposite of Obama. Obama believes we are all mean-spirited, and America is racist. Yes, in his mind, but he likes to attribute his Marxist MINORITY views as the way it is. He is the ultimate inciter. He is a product of his radical background training that is filled with hate and the injustices they seem able to manufacture at whim. Let’s all join him and the rest of the Ismistas because they are such happy folk. The drugged up, police hating, classless individuals participating in OWS uprisings and destruction are mirrors of him. They remind me of the barbarians from the 3rd world.

Forgot to say that I heard a clip of this producer (?) on the radio this morning. He was asked by Piers Morgan didn’t he find ANY negatives about Barry while researching this “documentary”. The guy said the only negative HE has is that he couldn’t list all the positive things about Barry in the time allotted–there were just too many accomplishments! Forgive me for linking to Huffpo, but they have the best parts: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/09/piers-morgan-davis-guggenheim-obama-movie_n_1335652.html

This is good: “Morgan then asked him how much the movie had cost, and who had paid him. Guggenheim said he had taken a pay cut to make it. “I’m surprised you weren’t paying him, by the sound of it, for the sheer honor and joy!” Morgan said.”

Retching here! Joy? Honor? Can I touch him, just to touch him and his healing ways! Maybe they are pulling out the old play book which is to become the new playbook? Next up the T-Shirt singing sensation along with the chanting brown shirts who will show their moves while listening to a few more elementary kids singing, mmmm mmmm mmmm.

Yes, In Washington with an actor, MLK III, Jim Moran rep-D-Va, fmr rep Tom Andrews -D- Maine, Nick Clooney (dad), Pres of NAACP Ben Jealous.
The NAMES. Remember the girl that I saw on the x film ? I thought she looked like Erin Moran from Happy Days ? Things are just too strange. There is more to this. At Sudanese Embassy protesting.
That silly Ferarr family….

I see. Civil disobedience, folks. He was protesting Sudan blocking food from going into the Nuba mountain area. Clooney tells us to “let your president know.” Well, he was sitting one person away from HIS president (not mine, the usurper) just two days ago and right next to Fugly. One would think either (1) they put him up to it or (2) he certainly has more and better access to the potus than we do, so why doesn’t HE “let” HIS “president know?” Although, maybe Barry doesn’t listen because the Christians and animists are in the southern part of Sudan, while the Muslims are everywhere else.

There’s a pipeline there, btw. It’s always about oil. Oil for Brazil. Oil for Saudi. Oil for Kenya. Oil for Indonesia. Oil for Uganda. NO OIL for the USA. No drilling. No refining. Newt Gingrich said a few days ago:

““If we in fact drill, if we in fact open offshore, if we in fact open federal lands, … we would find more oil,” Gingrich said.

Gingrich said gas would reach $10 a gallon under President Barack Obama and drilling more in the U.S. would improve national security.

“This is a president who has decided to send our money to Saudi Arabia and thinks it’s a good idea,” Gingrich said. “This is a president who thinks it’s good to create jobs in Saudi Arabia. I’d rather create jobs in Illinois … As your president, I want to go around as salesman for American products, not a purchasing agent for foreigners.”

Gingrich added that the country should avoid relying on Saudi Arabia for oil.

“I do not ever again want to see an American president bow to a Saudi king,” Gingrich said. “The Saudis are not our allies. The Saudis are a monarchy who sustain the most extreme form of Islam and spend billions of dollars a year exporting their ideology around the world and teaching people to hate. They subsidize the madrasas that produce terrorists.

“If we become the No. 1 supplier of oil in the world, and we are independent on energy, we can say to the Saudis, ‘Your period of subsidizing terrorism is over,’ ” Gingrich said.

And elsewhere, this from Newt:
“Gingrich accused the president of being self-contradictory by criticizing the efficacy of domestic oil drilling while at the same time asking Saudi Arabia to increase oil supply as a way to mitigate high gas prices.

Earlier in the week, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he was “enthusiastic” about Saudi openness to increasing oil production as a way to offset market volatility.

“If supply and demand works, why is the president for Saudi supply and against American supply?” Gingrich said.

“And then how does the president think the Saudis find the oil? They drill. So why is it that Saudi drilling works but American drilling, according to the president, will fail? The reason is all ideological. ” … American oil is bad but Saudi oil is good,” he continued. “Now this is wrong on a couple of counts. First, I don’t want the money going to Saudi Arabia. I want the money going to American companies creating American jobs in American territories. Second, we further increase our dependencies on the Saudis who are the largest funders of terrorist education and the largest funder of radical Islamist education in the world.”” http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2012/03/16/gingrich-obama-supports-saudi-drilling-not-american-drilling

Small wonder that the progressive obots are going crazy on Newt lately. He tells the truth and progressives can’t handle the truth.
